June 9, 2003? I suppose you know best but I remember some powerful writing about 9/11. I thought you started blogging soon after that.
Posted by Linda P. at June 11, 2009 11:59 AMGood call. Actually, I did but off of another site. You can see some pages in May of 2002 @ the wayback machine, but there were others before that which are now lost.
Posted by vanderleun at June 11, 2009 12:10 PMHappy Blogiversary, Gerard.
Here's to the next 5,6 - whatever.
Just keep 'em comin'.
Posted by Cathy at June 11, 2009 1:43 PMCongratulations and thanks for your efforts!
Posted by Milwaukee Mike at June 11, 2009 2:14 PMI wouldn't miss my daily, sometimes thrice daily ("I wonder if he's added something."), visits even if I had significant cramps and a bad rash.
Posted by Lance de Boyle at June 11, 2009 2:21 PMTime flies when you're having fun!
Posted by Eric Blair at June 11, 2009 2:38 PMHappy Birthday.
Here is to many more.
Congrats, and thanks for the great reading.
Posted by Andy at June 11, 2009 3:36 PMThanks for the memories, Gerard, and many happy returns of the day. I'm looking forward to the future. Why do I check in almost daily?
Because (wait for it):
"I gots to know!"
Posted by mezzrow at June 11, 2009 3:41 PMMany, many happy returns of this day. Yes, it is a selfish Birthday wish from me, but then I am a giddy girl in the presence of a well-turned phrase, a glimpse of beauty, a haunted memory.
More, please?

Posted by Kerry at June 11, 2009 4:47 PMWhy, yes, as a matter of fact, I do feel lucky. Happy birthday.
Posted by Morenuancedthanyou at June 11, 2009 7:09 PMGood on ye!
Keep on keeping on, sir. Happy, oh happy day to you.
Posted by TmjUtah at June 11, 2009 7:42 PMThe link at the end of the comments says AMERICAN DIGEST :HOME. Well, maybe not quite exactly home, but certainly a place that I stop by every day, and a place where I can count on reading or seeing something that will make me glad I did stop by.
Posted by Pete Madsen at June 11, 2009 9:10 PMLet me throw my congrats into the mix.
Still don't know how you can stand the mental attitude of the Queen Anne area, though.
Posted by Mumblix Grumph at June 11, 2009 9:54 PMCallooh! Callay! Hooray! Hooray!
Forever, and ever, amen.
Happy Blog Birthday, Gerard.
